If you're planning to take on a job in the construction industry in Australia, whether as a worker, project manager, or apprentice, you need to have a white card, which is a type of Occupational Health and Safety Certificate. To obtain a white card, you'll be required to complete a training course from an accredited agency. During the training, you'll learn about safety signs and symbols, safe work practices, and risk management principles.
A white card training course can either be conducted face to face, which usually lasts for six hours, and online for two to four hours depending on your pace. Individuals who wish to save time and energy often prefer online training delivered by approved trainers. For a web-based training, prepare for short answers and multi-choice questions, as well as a phone assessment. You can even begin and finish the training at any time of the day most convenient for you.
Although a standard white card no longer has an expiration date, anyone who hasn't worked in the construction industry for over two years is required to undergo retraining by employers. Take note that you won't be permitted to step into a construction site without a valid white card or proof of training. When looking for a training provider, see to it that the course they offer is recognized in the state or territory where you wish to work.
